Rock Solid Audio-Visual Experience
Quickspin’s inspiration of this gorgeously painted new slot machine is the classic Edvard Grieg composition, In The Hall Of The Mountain King. Lovers of classical music will know it to be a charming piece of music that has you nodding along to its infectious rhythm one moment and very shortly has your pulse pounding and your heart racing as it reaches its crescendo!
Hall of the Mountain King slot has the exact same impact as the music is not snippets but plays in full as you spin the reels. Triggering winning combinations and feature games has the soundtrack intensifying to dizzying heights.
The graphics follow suit as the initial game takes place outside, against the backdrop of a blue sky and soaring mountain peak. Unlocking the awesome Free Spins feature moves you deep into the cavernous hall of the Troll King himself. Where you see him swing his gigantic hammer to crush the multipliers and feature triggers which flank the stony reels.
The reels themselves are populated by well-crafted avatars of the Mountain King, his Troll Queen, a female Troll Warrior, a male Troll Warrior and a dorky looking Orc. These symbols fulfill the role of high-value symbols. The low-value symbols are made up of stylistically braided A, K, Q, J, and 10 card symbols mounted on carved stone tablets. There is also a Wild symbol represented by a gold disc with a rune-like W in its center, this symbol is both integral to the feature payouts and has its own winning combination value on the reels.

Erik Gullstrand of Quickspin recommends Hall of the Mountain King (with the Feature Trigger) because:
“The big highlight in this slot is to experience the bonus game and all its exciting features and game events, with a Troll King who’s waving his big hammer around.” … “It lets players experience the Free Spins Bonus game ‘on the house’ - enjoy the excitement of the bonus game with a guaranteed reward in real money”
We have to agree with Gullstrand, it is the following feature games that are the crowning glory of the Mountain King!
✓ Majestic Multipliers:
During the base game, an additional row sits to the left of the reel displaying a Multiplier Meter that begins at x1 and peaks at x5. Each winning combination on the reels where a Wild completed a payline will increase the tier of the multiplier which is applied to overall wins on the reels. Landing 5 Wilds on the reels will unlock the maximum x5 Multiplier while also paying out strong wins per line as 5 Wilds in a winning combination already pays out 40x your stake before any multipliers are applied!
✓ Multiple Free Spins
As the main slot feature of Hall of the Mountain King, it should come as no surprise that Quickspin went all out in this arena. Besides the near-manic tempo of the music and the Mountain King sowing destruction to symbols with his hammer, the 3 feature tiers are a sight to behold in their own right.
Free Spins - Tier 1
This level of Free Spins gameplay will see the low-value symbols appear in an additional far righthand reel, which sits outside of the 5x3, called the Upgrade Meter. Whenever a low-value symbol is destroyed by the Mountain King it is replaced on the reels by a high-value symbol increasing your chances of landing bigger and bigger wins with each spin.
The lefthand Multiplier Meter is also still active, only now rather than merely highlighting the active levels the Mountain King will smash certain tiles allowing higher value multipliers to be inserted into the meter. This can see you playing with multipliers as high as x15 your wins!
Free Spins - Tier 2
This tier is activated by removing all low-value symbols during the previous Free Spins feature. Now the Upgrade Meter is replaced by the Whirling Wind Wild meter. When the Mountain King uses his hammer to smash a Whirling Wind stone symbol the Wilds are released and trapped in this meter for your benefit. These Wilds add winning combinations to the reels and once you collected six of them you will activate the next level of the Free Spins.
Free Spins - Tier 3
With the music crashing in your ears you will ascend to the final level of the Hall of the Mountain King Free Spins where you get to play with the combination of Upgraded Symbols and Whirling Wind Wilds. You will receive 3 bonus spins where every game releases a randomly selected number of Wilds onto the reels to ensure that your high-value symbols give you the best potential of a maximum combination win!
Claim The Throne
Quickspin has created a spectacularly entertaining slot with Hall of the Mountain King. The inclusion of the full composition, and matching its crashing crescendo to the peak of the Free Spins feature was an inspired choice. Beyond its aesthetic value, the slot offers a ton of value in terms of the jackpot potential. It is worth noting that it is a highly volatile slot so it will require some bankroll management but that is easily done by utilizing the games minimum bet setting of €0.20 per spin.
